The Child Development Institute, part of the Children, Childhood and Education Collaborative, was established in 1987 to develop programs for early childhood and elementary school teachers, administrators, child development professionals, parents and the community at large.
Through its work, the Child Development Institute provides a progressive perspective on child development and education. In this perspective, the child is viewed as an individual in the social context, actively engaged in constructing knowledge through interactions with other people and the physical environment. We believe that the child's educational experience should encompass social, emotional, and imaginative aspects of life in concert with intellectual development. Further, we are concerned that schools and other institutions be developed as communities that attend to the interests and needs of children from diverse backgrounds.
The activities of the Child Development Institute, while developed primarily as outreach programs, are part of Sarah Lawrence’s Children, Childhood and Education Collaborative and as such, enhance the educational experience of undergraduate and graduate students on campus. A Professional Advisory Board provides consultation and support for various projects

Did you know Sarah Lawrence is home to one of the longest-running lab schools in the US?
Founded in 1937, the Early Childhood Center provides a progressive play-based curriculum for children ages 2 through 6.
Modeled on the Sarah Lawrence pedagogy, the ECC's programs provide a setting for undergraduate and graduate Sarah Lawrence College students to work as assistants and participant-observers for a practical element of their child development and teaching studies.
Learn more about the importance of lab schools and @sarahlawrencecollegeeccart at the link in our bio!

Registration is open for the 2023 Thomas H. Wright Lecture: The Children Come Full
The four authors of Culturally Sustaining Language and Literacy Practices for PreK-3 Classrooms: The Children Come Full, Kindel Turner Nash, Alicia Arce-Boardman, Roderick D. Peele, and Kerry Elson will discuss a framework for culturally sustaining early literacy teaching that can support working towards greater equity in schools and resist a deficit-oriented, one-size-fits-all view of children and families.
